Abstract

X-ray diffraction measurement of the superstructure were made under pressure in the title compound. The wave vector of the superstructure was found to become short below about 100 K. This change occurs even at ambient pressure when the sample is kept in the range 100-120 K for a long time, say, 24 h. The sample annealed for 65 h at ambient pressure undergoes a superconducting transition at about 7 K, which is much higher than that observed in samples cooled with a conventional speed. These results are discussed in relation to the so-called "low-Tc" and "high-Tc" states of this compound.
